Can Burned Skin On Legs Due To Use Of Hair Removal System Be Healed?
i burned my legs using a lazor hair removal system i went to my dermatolgist and he gave me a steriod cream to put on. they all scabed and healed but they are still pink and my legs are still tan. It has been a month since the incident my doctor said it looks like the color will be fine but i am worried and i keep reading about all these horror stories. my question is what is the time line for the skin to go back after burn. i havnet been in the sun since and i have an olive complection.

Hi
Since you had developed superficial skin burns due to laser treatment , I would like to tell you that it is the normal skin response to heal with slight pigmentation or loss of pigment after any kind of skin injury.
This type of change is skin color might take sometime to revert back to normal skin color. You just need to keep adequate sun protection by regular use of a sunscreen and it will come back to normal in few weeks.
